Roof leaks & water intrusion
We trace the leak to its real source — flashing, a penetration, a valley, or failed underlayment — and repair it there, then verify the ceiling stays dry.

Roof repair, done right for Florida
A roof leak is rarely where the stain is. Water finds the failed flashing, the cracked tile, or the nail that backed out of the deck, then travels along the underlayment before it ever shows on a ceiling. Good roof repair starts by finding that true entry point — not smearing sealant over the symptom — so the fix holds through the next storm instead of buying you a few dry weeks.
We are a local, licensed roofing contractor repairing every roof system common to Palm Beach County: clay and concrete barrel tile, standing-seam and other metal, architectural shingle, flat and low-slope membrane, and soldered copper. Because we run our own sheet-metal shop, we fabricate matching flashings, tile closures, and copper details in-house — so a repair blends in and meets code, and on the island it satisfies the in-kind standard the Town requires. This page walks through what we repair, how the work actually goes, and where roofs in this county tend to fail.
The fix
Water coming in. Sealed and sound.
Drag the handle. A storm-hit roof — lifted tile, opened flashing, a leak working into the deck — becomes a watertight, re-fastened roof you stop thinking about. That is the job a real repair does, top to bottom.
What we fix
The roof problems we repair most
From a single suspicious drip to widespread storm damage, these are the failures we are called out for across Palm Beach County.
Storm & hurricane damage
Wind-lifted and missing tile or shingle, blown-off ridge, and debris strikes — re-bedded, re-fastened, and documented for your insurance claim.
Cracked & slipped tile
Broken, cracked, or slipped clay and concrete tile replaced and re-secured with matching tile so the field stays watertight and uniform.
Flashing & penetration failures
Chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall transitions are where most leaks begin. We rebuild the flashing in matching metal or copper, fabricated in our shop.
Metal & copper roof repair
Loose seams, failed fasteners, and corroded panels on metal and copper roofs — resealed, re-soldered, or replaced panel by panel.
Emergency tarping & dry-in
When water is actively coming in, we stabilize first — a proper tarp or temporary dry-in to stop the damage — then return for the permanent repair.
Where roofs actually fail
The four places a Palm Beach roof leaks
Two roofs the same age can perform completely differently — it comes down to the details below the surface. These are the spots we check first and where most repairs are won or lost.
01
Flashing & penetrationsChimneys, skylights, vents, and wall lines — the number-one source of leaks. We rebuild flashing in matching metal or copper, not caulk it.
02
ValleysWhere two slopes meet, water concentrates and debris collects. A failed valley quietly soaks the deck long before it shows inside.
03
Fasteners & upliftBacked-out or under-driven fasteners let wind lift tile and panels. We re-fasten to Florida high-wind code so the next storm stays outside.
04
Underlayment & secondary water barrierThe last line of defense under the tile or shingle. Once it is brittle across the field, spot repairs stop working and a re-roof is the honest call.
Step by step
How a roof repair works
From the first inspection to your insurance paperwork, here is the path a Palm Beach County repair actually follows.
-
Inspection & leak diagnosis
A local roofer gets on the roof, finds the true source of the problem — not just the stain — and checks the surrounding flashing, fasteners, and underlayment for anything about to fail next.
-
Emergency stabilization, if needed
If water is actively coming in, we tarp or temporarily dry-in the roof the same visit when we can, so the damage stops while the permanent repair is scheduled and materials are sourced.
-
Clear written estimate
You get a plain, itemized estimate — what failed, what we will do, and what it costs — plus an honest note if a full replacement would be the better spend than repeat patches.
-
Permitting & review, where required
We pull the permit when the scope calls for one, and on the Town of Palm Beach island we carry repairs through ARCOM or Landmarks review so the work matches in-kind and stays compliant.
-
The repair
We make the fix with matching materials — tile, metal, copper, or membrane — rebuild flashing in our own shop where needed, and re-fasten to Florida high-wind code, leaving the area watertight and uniform.
-
Verification & insurance documentation
We confirm the ceiling stays dry and hand you photos and a written scope of the damage and repair — the documentation your adjuster needs if storm damage is going through a claim.

Roof repairs by material
Whatever is over your head now, there is a right way to repair it — matched to the existing roof, not patched over it.
Tile roof repair
Clay and concrete barrel tile re-bedded, re-pointed, and replaced with matching tile — the Florida classic, kept watertight and uniform.
Metal & standing-seam
Resealed seams, replaced fasteners, and panel-by-panel repair on standing-seam and metal roofs.
Shingle repair
Wind-lifted, cracked, and missing architectural shingles replaced and re-sealed, with the deck and underlayment checked underneath.
Copper roof & flashing
Re-soldered seams and rebuilt copper details — the island estate standard, fabricated to match in our shop.
Flat & low-slope
Membrane patches, re-flashed penetrations, and ponding fixes on flat and low-slope roofs over additions and porches.
Flashing & sheet metal
Chimney, wall, and valley flashing rebuilt in matching metal or copper — the detail where most leaks actually start.
Pricing depends on the system, the size of the failure, and what we find once the area is opened up, so we quote on-site rather than over the phone. If the inspection shows the roof is failing widely, we will tell you when a roof replacement is the better investment than another round of repairs.
Repair, or replace?
An honest read on whether a repair is the right call
A good repair saves you a re-roof you do not need yet — but repeat patches on a worn-out roof are the most expensive way to put off the inevitable. Here is how we draw the line, and how storm damage and the island change it.
SPOT REPAIR A sound roof with an isolated leak or storm-lifted area is a clear repair — fast, targeted, and far cheaper than a re-roof.
STORM CLAIM Sudden storm and hurricane damage is usually a covered peril. We photograph and document the scope so your adjuster has real evidence.
RE-ROOF Brittle underlayment, backing-out fasteners, or tile past 25–30 years means patches stop working — we will say so and price a replacement.
ON THE ISLAND On the Town of Palm Beach island, even a repair must match in-kind — clay tile, slate, or copper — and may need ARCOM or Landmarks review. We handle it.
The payoff
A dry house you stop worrying about.
The right repair is the one you forget you paid for — no bucket under the leak, no creeping stain, no scramble before the next storm. Just a sound roof over a calm, dry home.

Roof repair FAQ
How much does roof repair cost in Palm Beach County?
Most repairs we handle land in a wide range — a small flashing or sealant fix is often a few hundred dollars, while re-bedding tile, rebuilding a valley, or chasing a stubborn leak across underlayment runs higher. The honest answer is that price tracks the size of the failure and what we find once the area is opened up, so we quote on-site after we have actually inspected the roof rather than guessing over the phone. If the inspection shows the deck or underlayment is failing widely, we will tell you plainly when a roof replacement is the better spend instead of repeat patches.
Do I need a roof repair or a full roof replacement?
It depends on how widespread the damage is and how old the roof is. A sound roof with an isolated leak, a few cracked tiles, or storm-lifted shingles is a clear repair. But once the underlayment is brittle across the field, fasteners are backing out in multiple areas, or a tile roof is past 25–30 years, spot repairs become a money pit and a full re-roof is the smarter investment. We give you a straight assessment at the estimate — including which option your insurer is more likely to support.
How fast can you respond to a roof leak or storm damage?
When water is coming in, speed matters. We prioritize active leaks and storm damage across Palm Beach County and can usually get a crew out quickly to stabilize the roof — emergency tarping or a temporary dry-in to stop the intrusion — then schedule the permanent repair once the weather and materials allow. Stopping the water early keeps a roof problem from becoming a ceiling, drywall, and mold problem. Tell us what is happening and we will tell you the soonest we can be there.
Will my insurance cover storm or hurricane roof damage?
Often, yes — sudden storm and hurricane damage is typically a covered peril, while wear-and-tear and deferred maintenance generally are not. The key is documentation: we photograph the damage, write up the cause and scope, and provide the report your adjuster needs, which makes the difference between an approved claim and a denied one. We do not inflate claims or chase deductibles for you, but we will give you an honest, well-documented repair scope so you can deal with your carrier from a position of evidence.
Do you repair tile, metal, and copper roofs?
Yes — we repair every roof system common to Palm Beach County: clay and concrete barrel tile, standing-seam and other metal roofs, architectural shingle, flat and low-slope membranes, and soldered copper. Because we run our own sheet-metal shop, we can fabricate matching tile closures, flashings, copper details, and chimney caps in-house, so a repair blends in instead of looking patched. Matching the existing material is also what keeps a repair compliant on homes with HOA or historic-review requirements.
Does a roof repair need a permit in Palm Beach County?
Minor repairs below the code threshold usually do not, but anything structural, anything that replaces a significant area, and most work on the Town of Palm Beach island does. On the island a repair must match in-kind — clay tile, slate, or copper — and a noticeable change in roof appearance can trigger ARCOM (Architectural Commission) or Landmarks review. We know each jurisdiction’s threshold, pull the permit when one is required, and handle the architectural review so the repair is legal and passes inspection. More on that on our Palm Beach island roofing page.
